Darn! I HATE cliffhangers!

Oh sorry, I just got bored 
..scale in your personal preferences, and it'd suprise me if you could find it even slightly useful out of given narrow application.. and you don't want to hear me mention bloatware, you just don't!
The only limitations I have come across is the simple fact that windows controls don't have much functionality that a user requires, but this can be overcome by purchasing 3rd party controls...
that just hurts too much... third party controls?! Yeah like everything programming is about has to do with a slick and easy to use GUI, sounds like poetry to me, or makeup. I'm going to throw up.
I am just confused at how someone can say the VB isn't good enough to write the majority of applications...it's maybe a tad more complicated at attempting certain things, like MultiThreading, but this can easily be overcome by any half decent VB developer who knows how use subclassing and ActiveX EXEs.
Ad hoc ad hoc and use libraries, friggin advertising outright equivalent to commercialising collectors cards. Ohh it is is so complicated, and all that, yeah riiiight! "decent" VB developers *shakes head*
yes, C++ is a more complicated, in depth and well rounded language, I'll give you that.
I have found that people who use the arguments you have, don't know how to fully program in VB, or use the "Well, it's only 3 lines of code in C++ and it's 1ms faster"...
Since when am I advocating C++ here? In my dictionary complicated is a bad word, very bad. And ffs stop assuming what I know of VB.
They are different packages used for different things...
Would you use a machette to open a letter??? No, you would use a letter knife...yea, a letter knife won't chop a tree down, or skin a rhino, but that doesn't make it crap
I'm aware of that problem. VB is like a cake decoration knife.

writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

AFAIK that was one of those adhoc methods i had to take cause of VB's disabilities, I can't comment further on it without reading the thread and i'm not going to do that.

well stop with that insufficient metonymization or i'll have jamie kill you, its insulting. Even though i don't care for what i have posted here two and half years ago, i just checked my third post, read it please. My vb has certainly got rusty but at least don't go assume i've said something I haven't. Nevertheless I'm aware of all its limitations.

I haven't looked at any of the responses, but i looked at the function for about 3 minutes and then a picture developed of what was happening. I've seen that functions hold their value; static seems redundant. Maybe it isn't

Actually the code is used to delete members of forums that dig up old threads and don't read them properly
